Adam's was the first command the Deity ever issued to a human being on this planet. And it was the only command Adam would be able to disobey. It said, "Be weak, be water, be characterless, be cheaply persuadable." The later command, to let the fruit alone, was certain to be disobeyed. Not by Adam himself, but by his — which he did not create and had no authority over.
Mark Twain
